Heavy Rock Carry's
Training continues at Shark's Cove. These days we usually leave our fins at the top, its really just as easy getting down without them.
We have also found some new, bigger rocks to carry around. My booty is actually sore today from lifting those heavy rocks then running with them, its like underwater squats, 35 feet down!
Another twist(we get bored carrying the same rocks around every time): the rock-tow. One guy carrys the rock, and another guy holds on to his shorts and gets "towed." Underwater tow-ins!!
Something I have discovered about the holding my breath: Often times I will swim down to the rock, and when I get there, it feels like I'm already out of breath, I want to come back up. Instead I just ignore the feeling and keep going, walking all the way across the sand. It's like mind over matter, you learn to ignore the uncomfortable feeling of being low on air.
